In a previously undisclosed secret mission in 2017, the United States successfully extracted from Russia one of its highest-level covert sources inside the Russian government, multiple Trump administration officials with direct knowledge told CNN.
A person directly involved in the discussions said that the removal of the Russian was driven, in part, by concerns that President Donald Trump and his administration repeatedly mishandled classified intelligence and could contribute to exposing the covert source as a spy.
The decision to carry out the extraction occurred soon after a May 2017 meeting in the Oval Office in which Trump discussed highly classified intelligence with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and then-Russian Ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak. The intelligence, concerning ISIS in Syria, had been provided by Israel.

The disclosure to the Russians by the President, though not about the Russian spy specifically, prompted intelligence officials to renew earlier discussions about the potential risk of exposure, according to the source directly involved in the matter.
At the time, then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo told other senior Trump administration officials that too much information was coming out regarding the covert source, known as an asset. An extraction, or "exfiltration" as such an operation is referred to by intelligence officials, is an extraordinary remedy when US intelligence believes an asset is in immediate danger.

^^ More quality work by Trump

I’ll have a tough time believing any of these “russia hoax” trumptards now that we know that Donald Trump burned our country’s main intelligence asset in Russia.

Putin really does have his man in the oval office.

Fake news by CNN. Of course the faggot libtards take the bait as always, LMFAO!

According to the CIA, fake news.

Also, according to the New York Times, the decision
to pull this secret agent out of Russia was decided
before Trump was elected (under Obama).

CNN, still with the Russia Russia Russia... LMFAO

Rachel Madcow really DID install Putin in your brain!

Well this story died a tragic death. They're trying to squeeze every drop out of the Russia Hoax.

What was it last week? Russian oligarchs co-signing Trump's loans? Another face-plant.
